What a conference week!

We're thrilled to have been able to connect with so many people and grateful to our members and supporters who joined us in Springfield and virtually. Next year will be MHOA's 60th Annual Conference. We'll be back in Springfield again, a week later, from Nov. 3-5, 2027 with early check-in and pre-conference activities beginning Nov. 2. Save the dates - the best prices will be available for MHOA members from May through July, 2027.

Conference attendees should be sure to complete their session evaluations. The link will be emailed to all registered attendees who attended the conference. If you don't complete the evaluations, you will be unable to receive contact hours.

I'll be representing MHOA on the Special Commission on Local and Regional Health, which kicks off again Nov. 4 from 2 to 4 p.m. in Marlborough. This is an open meeting, and there is a virtual link and agenda here. Once anticipated agenda items for subsequent meetings are shared with commission members, MHOA will be soliciting Board & member input. 

Have a spook-tacular Halloween weekend!
